At 8:00 sharp, after the National Anthem, both the Marathon and the 10K started, the first from the Pentagon, the latter from the Washington Mall (in front of the Smithsonian Castle).
Weather was good for racing, especially after yesterday's rain and snow, nevertheless due to the low temperatures during the night ice patches were present over the bridges, creating risky conditions for the runners.
My 10K result was almost a minute slower than last year. I was a bit disappointed at first, but after a detailed comparison between the 2010 and 2011 results I figured out that some other guys, that arrived in front of me both years, today lost from 30 seconds to a minute 20 seconds.
